Manmohan Singh arrives in Tokyo | Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh arrived here
in capital city of Japan on a three-day State visit during which he will hold bilateral talks with his Japanese counterpart Naoto Kan. Both the leaders are
likely to discuss various issues of region and global concerns. The Prime Minister
would also have several meetings with political leaders, parliamentarians and
captains of Japanese trade and industry. India is expected to announce the conclusion
of negotiations on the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with
Japan . Earlier in the day, in his departure statement, issued ahead of his departure
on a three-nation tour to Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam, Dr. Manmohan Singh described
Japan as one of India’s major economic partners, and added that bilateral trade
and economic relationship is all set to enter a new phase. He said the annual
summit with Japan has resulted in a strong vibrant and multi-dimensional relationship
between the two countries. “We have embarked upon mega infrastructure projects
with Japanese assistance which have the potential of transforming our economy.
Our trade and economic relationship is set to enter a new phase. I look forward
to detailed discussions with Prime Minister Kan on bilateral, regional and global
issues,” he added. After his Japan visit from Oct.24 to 26, Dr. Singh will proceed
from here to Malaysia and later Vietnam for ASEAN-India and East Asia Summits.
